Time

Out of all the forces of the universe, the one that never stops, pauses or takes a break is time. No matter what, it just keeps going. Time moves really fast when you least expect it. I'm sure you've felt it, like for example, you realise that it's the end of the week when you were just getting into the week. For me, I hadn't realised till today that Marit Larsen's birthday is in 3 days.

I wish I could stop time, for as long as I want to. Then maybe I can get some things done. I always told myself I would make time to read my comicbooks or watch the movies I had bought from the video store, but in the end I never do. I simply can't break my daily routine. It's bad enough my job takes up half my day, then when I get home there's a TV show I have to catch. Then there's being here in cyberspace.

Of course, you'd just say "So sacrifice one thing so you can do another." I knew someone who told me to make time instead of finding the time to do things. And it's true, because no matter how fast or efficient I am at managing time, I'd still lose out on something. I would still be unable to do what I want. I used to think I was good at time management. I still am, but maybe not in all aspects. I'm good at getting things done punctually at the office, but at home my hopeless routine defeats me always.

I found out today someone I know is feeling alone. I want to tell her that she isn't, but the fact is I'm the last person she would want to reach out to right now. I don't know if she's reading this, but if she is, I have just one thing to say: don't give up.

Random

Hello everyone. I don't really have a specific theme to inspire a whole entry, though a lot of things have been going on in my life lately. So I'll just give you some random thoughts and points swirling around this insane mind:

- The picture you're looking at is me and Homer Simpson. I took this picture at the movie carnival a few weeks ago. The statue is part of a huge standee promoting The Simpsons Movie, and they have the same thing at some cineplexes in the city. A few days ago, one of the cineplexes reported that their Homer statue had been stolen. No kidding. They even had a CCTV picture of two men carrying Homer out and loading it into the trunk of a car. So far, the police haven't recovered him yet, but the film distributors are offering a reward for his return. I have no idea why anyone would want to steal Homer, but if it were me, I'd take Bart. He'd be so much easier to carry.

- I heard that there's a dengue epidemic in Singapore, due to the fact that it's pretty hot there right now. Great. As if global warming isn't bad enough, now there's a disease going around. And there's the bird flu too. I'd move to Norway, but Mayleen says it's hot there as well. But hey, KL isn't so bad. It's been raining almost every evening here lately, so it's kinda cool, but not when it's time to go home from work.

- I'm starting to get the hang of my new job, but somehow I still miss the old office. I just can't help it. I guess it's because I spent over 4 years there. It still feels like home. It wasn't perfect, and I wasn't the popular guy there, but I felt like I belonged there. The people there feel like family. And though this new job is good, and the people are nice, I still think of my past home, and how they're doing now. I know I shouldn't miss them too much, they probably don't miss me.

- She's still on my mind. It's been four months since I last saw her, but I haven't forgotten her sweet face. That smile of hers...it's like it's been burned in my memory. I do know that one of the reasons she's still there in my head is because I want her there. I may never know why our paths crossed, but I do know I want to see her again. Just to know how she is now. In the meantime, I'm still feeding off my imagination when it comes to her. That will do for now.

By the way I've been updating my other blog, so please drop by whenever you can. Hope everyone's in good spirits, catch you later.

Nostalgia



I heard this song during lunch today, and it brought back memories. Almost forgot how much I loved it.
